using Markdown as a perl module

[Angie Ahl]

Hi people

I've just started experimenting with Markdown and thought that I could 
posisbly tie it into my own system which is all done with perl modules.

I changed the name from Markdown.pl to Markdown.pm and tried this:

use Markdown;
$ItemTextMU = Markdown->Markdown($ItemText);

but that just returns the text "Markdown".

I know I'm just being dumb here, any clues anyone. Or am I trying to do 
something it's not meant to (yet ;)

Cheers

Angie

PS: I've been working with my own markup language for about 3 years now 
so may actually have something to contribute to this project, which'll 
be a first ;)
